I know I am interested, What payment system are you implementing?
Paypal?
I'm actually looking into Paypal credit card. They're pretty reasonable
and seem pretty easy to implement. If I do it, I may see if I can get
it certified to work with PayPal.
Not much TG advice yet, I am too new.
Thanks

I haven't gotten any further with PayPal than thinking "Oh, I need to
accept payment and PayPal looks easy." I'll check out their
documentation sometime and see what they require a shopping cart to
implement in order to become certified. And I'm not sure what all
"certified" means (and if that's even the proper term for it) other than
that you show up on their list of shopping carts that integrate with
PayPal. But I'm almost definitely going to use PayPal for my wife's
site. I'm all for collaboration. I'll post back what I find and we can
get a wiki going as Jared suggested.
I'd really like to get some conversation about this as to best (or good)
practices for making this an easily pluggable component. I'd like
people to be able to just drop it into their already existing
application and use it and have it maintain their site's look and feel.
One thing that turned me off to a number of existing shopping cart
"modules" (mostly for PHP, I think) was that you built your site around
the shopping cart. That's backward to my thinking. There are some
general things that a shopping cart needs to do, but not much reason
that it needs to dominate a site. I'd like to capture the general
things and leave the rest up to the user.
I'll try to post some initial thoughts and existing architecture over
the next few days to the wiki and maybe we can get the conversation
started and get this available for people to use. And get some
documentation around using PayPal payment from TG.
